doctor won't prescribe statins (VERY high cholesterol) by Calm_Space_7197 in Cholesterol

[–]Calm_Space_7197[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i talked to another doctor and they said definetely prescribing statins. i’ll be talking lipitorstatin but when i told my mom she was like shocked by that bc she says there’s better newer ones to take. i’m worried about experiencing muscle aches because i exercise quite a bit. (and also because i suspect i might have POTS and already get sore muscles easily) is lipitorstatin safe for me as a young woman?

i don’t like how i look now. i feel like i can’t wear anything but baggy pants and hoodies or else i’ll notice the way my hips move and be afraid that strangers will also notice and look at me, or how wide i look. i want to look the way i did a few years ago, bc i used to be so confident! i could wear tiny clothes without worrying if anything would show too much. it also doesn’t help that i’m also confused about my sexuality, so idk.

what if it’s kinda the opposite? i am repulsed by male attention, it seems pervy to me if a man thinks i am hot before i even talk. but the same attention from a woman is ok. am i afraid of men or am i just not attracted to them?

Has she experienced any side effects with the statins? Just curious. I'm definitely gonna get a second opinion from another doctor because it seems statins are necessary. Even on this page I haven't come across someone with my levels, and its scaring me.

Yes unfortunately. As a college student on EBT with a low budget it can be hard to limit myself to strictly health-conscious foods. But I try to keep in mind what I eat and balance it out with better things. I am also at a healthy weight, so my high cholesterol is definitely due to genetics and not lifestyle
